About Patti
Patti Mallow offers a calm, steady presence for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, or big life changes. She aims to build trust quickly so clients can talk at their own pace and focus on the goals that matter most to them.
She holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, from Texas and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential, LPCC, from New Mexico, and has 12 years of counseling experience. Much of that work took place in agencies serving people affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. Patti has led individual and group sessions and supervised other counselors and student interns.
Patti usually blends Client-Centered Therapy with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused approaches. Sessions typically focus on improving communication, building healthy boundaries, and managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress.
Her background includes work on a group foster care ranch and roles as a discipleship counselor and program director for a domestic violence and sexual assault agency. Those roles inform her practical approach to parenting concerns, values clarification, and applying new skills in everyday life.
Patti helps people untangle issues such as family conflict, abandonment, guilt, workplace stress, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue. She meets clients where they are and works collaboratively toward clearer choices and steadier coping.
How her approaches translate to online work
Patti combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused techniques to address a range of concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions around the person’s experience, helping people feel heard and supported while they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and building new coping skills for anxiety, depression, or workplace stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to symptoms that follow abuse or violence and uses steps to reduce distress and strengthen safety and coping.Finding the best approach is a shared process. Patti will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and comfort level and then shape sessions accordingly. That means approaches can shift over time as goals change and as practical tools prove helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins on a lunch break or longer weekly sessions without commuting. It can also let people choose meetings that fit their energy level, whether they prefer working through trauma-focused exercises or practicing CBT skills in the moment.
